Committees
The Texas Pain Society has committees dedicated to membership, the conference, CME, social media, and beyond. Members are encouraged to sign up for any committee(s) of interest, as participation makes TPS an even stronger association!
Membership Committee
The purpose of the Membership Committee is to identify strategies to increase membership and to serve TPS members in the best possible way. Committee members help to identify potential members and suggest marketing strategies and materials. Committee members also help to identify possible benefits and new services for TPS members.
